Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone. Remember this.

Spoken like someone locked in a poorly ventilated room.

Feels like we’ve arrived.

I've never been tear-gassed. It's not normal When an environment and education journalist is not only saying "I got tear gassed and so did children" but is comparing it with their previous experiences of being tear-gassed, you know stuff is going seriously and systematically wrong

The Brexit campaign was fuelled by misinformation, and new polls have found that the majority of Brits want to reverse it. We must continue to fix our relationship with Europe, and rekindle our ties with the biggest free market in the world.

In the middle of everything, Minneapolis is holding the Great Nothern Festival, which celebrates our winters, our culture, and local climate solutions. The amazing Dr. Ayana Johnson @ayanaeliza.bsky.social is the keynote speaker tonight, along with many local climate heroes. Proud of Minnesota!

Yet another report calls for a national urban/village default speed limit of 20mph. This time its from the Faculty of Public Health, Transport and Health Science Group and the Royal Society for Public Health. See action No. 5 www.fph.org.uk/media/tr2bnu...

The dissolution of NCAR remains a very real possibility, as discussed at a town-hall meeting this week at #AMS2026. @climateconnections.bsky.social yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/01/the-...

Budgets cut. Jobs lost. Pulling out of the IPCC. The consequences of climate science policy changes under the Trump administration are already showing. Climate scientist Dr. Zeke @hausfath.bsky.social joins @worthingtonbry.bsky.social to discuss. Catch up now: www.cleaningup.live/socials/

The big question is whether this will cause journalists working in mainstream for-profit corporate media to (a) Become even more obsequious, or (b) Become defenders of the civil liberties, rule of law, and democratic institutions upon which their profession depends.

Guan Heng went to Xinjiang to photograph the detention camps where the Chinese Communist Party imprisons Uyghurs. He fled China via Hong Kong, Ecuador, and the Bahamas, reaching Florida on an inflatable boat. The US was considering his asylum case when ICE arrested him. DHS has not released him.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

An eye-opening aspect of working closely with international colleagues on things like IPCC reports is that you can compare being hit by contrasting weather extremes in real time - heatwaves & fires in Australia - storms & floods in UK www.reuters.com/business/env... www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce...

New discussion paper just dropped that’s taken shall we say a little work to get this far … essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es... please be kind. Not on an at all sensitive topic in the slightest.

As the world quickly approaches 1.5C, researchers have a call in Nature to rethink the utility of temperature targets – and to potentially replace them with more actionable and precise targets around clean energy:

Congratulations, Andrew Wakefield! You did it, you fraudulent quack!

It’s wild that someone looked at this and thought, “This would be better with some cars on it”.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

All y'all should be following Colette, who co-runs Stand Up for Science @standupforscience.bsky.social. They are fighting vociferously against Trump and *especially* RFK Jr., who is literally a pox upon our nation.

UK Gov could reduce killed and serious injuries on UK roads by 30,000 over the next decade. It just needs to facilitate the same initiative that already exists in one half of the UK for the other half. And its a key component of the Road Safety Strategy it has just announced.

Climate scientists are also obsessed with Greenland, not because of the Mercator projection, but because the melting of the Greenland ice sheet is going to raise sea levels significantly, change ocean circulation, and be generally very bad for humanity.

Geopolitical shocks can - and must - be an opportunity for Europe. The seismic shift underway makes it both possible & necessary to build a new European independence. From security to the economy. From defence to democracy. Europe is gathering speed. → link.europa.eu/6qt6hC

A fast moving coronal mass ejection (CME) means the northern lights may be visible overnight, and perhaps on Tuesday night too The arrival time of the CME is uncertain, but aurora sightings are possible in northern Britain and perhaps in southern areas depending on cloud cover.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

There are some who say we don’t consult on our newest Low Traffic Neighbourhoods. If that’s the case, it’s worth taking a look at the West Ham LTN engagement report.

As an Indigenous person, watching Trump make plans to invade an Indigenous territory is fucking terrifying. Everyone is making this about Denmark, but it will be Inuit facing this new wave of violent colonization.

Glasgow is set to begin introducing a citywide 20mph speed limit on residential streets, with the rollout scheduled to start in early 2026. The SNP-led city council has confirmed the changes will apply to almost 3,700 roads across the city.

'Much of the political manoeuvring of the new right boils down to people who grew up in the same horrible cultural atmosphere that I did, basing a huge amount of what they say on the belief that the UK was simply a better place back then.' 1/3

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva says the US crossed an 'unacceptable line' following attacks on Venezuela and the capture of its president, Nicolas Maduro.

The scientific evidence is absolutely crystal clear: We are certain the world is warming because we're burning fossil fuels and putting more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere So we have to stop doing that We also need to adapt to the changes we've already caused www.channel4.com/news/uk-alre...

“it is clear from our weather observations and climate models that human-induced global warming is impacting the UK’s climate” "Since the start of the 21st Century, a new record has been set for UK annual mean temperature no less than six times – in 2002, 2003, 2006, 2014, 2022 and now 2025"

Good morning. Let's make a collective resolution: this will be the year in which we start to turn things round.

This year has been brutal for the #climate movement. Rollbacks, repression, & outright denial, especially in the US, have made progress feel fragile & uneven. Which is exactly why it matters to pause & look back at what did move forward in 2025. Here are 12 real wins 🏆, one for each month 🧵⬇️

Huge congratulations to my friend Piers Forster on being appointed a CBE. We got our PhDs in Meteorology at the University of Reading in the 1990s and have since worked together on many things including IPCC and the Climate Change Committee. He's a truly inspirational scientist and communicator ☺️

A northerly influence to our weather this coming week, so temperatures always likely to struggle a bit All eyes to the end of the week though when some notably colder and potentially more wintry weather arrives to kick off 2026

Read this from Ben Santer (very famous climate scientist for those who don’t know) about what NCAR means and what dismantling it will do.
